Jim

A Bullet Journal for the terminal.

Your todo list shouldn't stress you out.

Jim is fast, local, and needs no account. Each morning starts clean. Overdue tasks don't scream at you — you decide what to keep and what to let go.

Philosophy

Tasks don't carry over automatically. Each morning, you review what's there and consciously decide what to keep, snooze, or drop.

Dropping a task is not failure — it's a decision. If something keeps getting pushed to tomorrow, it either needs to be done today or it doesn't need to be done at all.

No shame. No notifications. No guilt. Just intention.
